A Change of Scene

This is what writers do:

Burp up the first thoughts, easy questions and answers. Toss them out. Walk away, look at other things for a while. You are not really walking away, you are circling around. With fresh perspective, pose more challenging questions, think to more interesting answers.

Toss and walk, look and circle, ask and think. When your brain takes you by surprise, connecting serendipitous dots along its own curlicue paths ... then things get interesting.

Time to walk away now. Look at other things:

Nina raves about my cool new hip action. At our last lesson Grisha said, "Beautiful dancing!" Deb and Brian are offering orchestra-specific classes in Boulder. Nick and Tara are back from Australia. Andre is all over me to take a Saturday class with Darryl and Sue. Next month I go to Boston and on Glenlivet's recommendation am going to seek out Hsueh-tze Lee.

Coming in May: the Memorial Day Festival! Tom Stermitz is bringing Hsueh-tze Lee, Brigitta Winkler, Tomas Howlin, Jost Budde and others. I am already registered and begging for every private lesson I can get.

A change of scene does a heart good.
